Hello all.
I have a 2006 Mazda 3 with aftermarket HIDs installed. Right now they are working fine at night, but during they day when they are used as DRLs only the drivers side fires.
I did much searching around and found that the best way to fix this would be to buy a relay harness and a capacitor, so I did that. They just came and and the problem is... I have to idea what to do with them. I have not found many guides with pictures of install and I am a visual learner so I am having trouble figuring out exactly where everything goes.
This is my relay harness

Now I'm sure the red wire goes to my +terminal on my battery and #4 is the fuse. I lose it from there. Where do #1 #2 and #3 go? From what I have read so far I THINK that I am going to plug #6 into #3 and then splice the other side into two Male connectors and plug it into my stock wiring harness for the lowbeams. Although that confuses me... because I have two of those not just one. I don't know where #1 or #2 would go either. I'm guessing something with the lights because one wire is a lot longer than the other, maybe plug it into the ballast? I'm just so confused and I don't want to "just go for it" and mess something up which is what I normally do.
I know I'm a n00b and probably said something stupid but any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance!
